HANGER FOR CURTAlN-POLES AND SHADE-ROLLERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 26, 1905.

Application filed August 18,1905. Serial No. 274,685.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, h IILO A. ELLIOTT, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Waterville, in the county of Kennebec and State of Maine,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers forCurtain-Poles and Shade-Rollers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The present invention has for its object to provide a hanger for shadeand curtain poles that is capable of being reversed and adjusted toadapt the hanger to window-frames of various constructions and designson which the ordinary hanger could not be used; and the inventionconsists in a shade and curtain pole hanger constructed substantially asshown in the drawings and hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of a shade and curtainpole hanger constructed in accordance with my invention, showing it inposition and attached to a portion of a window-frame. Fig. 2 is'asimilar view showing the hanger in a reversed position to that shown inFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hanger when used in anupright position.

In the accompanying drawings the hanger comprises the bracket A and thebracket B, formed integral and disposed at right angles to each other,said brackets being constructed of any suitable metal found mostdesirable. The bracket A is provided with a hook or segmental bearing afor the pole of the curtain or lambrequin and a. bearing for the end ofthe shade-roller, preferably in the form of an open notch b, and is usedwhen the hanger is in position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

Where a shade-roller only is used and the roller is of greater lengththan would engage the bearings on the two hangers of a window, as shownin Fig. 1 of the drawings, the space between the hangers is increased byreversing them, as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the bearingcomprising the notch d supporting the end of the shade-roller, therebyadjusting the hanger by reversing it to adapt it to the increased lengthof the shade-roller.

Frequently window-frames are of such construction and design that thehanger in the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings could notbe used thereon, and in such event the hanger is inverted, as shown inFig. 3 of the drawin s, the bracket A being upright instead ofhorizontal, which will adapt itself to be used in places where theattachment of the hanger when in the positions shown in the abovefigures of the drawings would be impossible.

The hanger when in the position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and thebearing c,which also is in the form of an open notch, supports the endof theshaderoller, and in Figs. 2 and 3 the hookor segmental bearing orsupport a for the curtain-pole is not brought into use.

It is preferable that a spur e be provided at the juncture of the twobrackets A B, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, so as to enterthe wood of the window-frame when the hanger is used in the positionshown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and screws or other suitable andwell-known fastenings may be used to secure the hanger in place, asfound best adapted to the purpose.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

A reversible and adjustable hanger for curtain-poles and shade-rollers,comprising two brackets disposed at right angles to each other, thebrackets having bearings or suports for the shade-roller upon upper andower edges thereof respectively, one of said brackets having a supportfor the curtainpole and a support for the shade-roller at the end ofsaid bracket and lengthwise therewith, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MILO A. ELLIOTT.
